      Issue Summary

      When a user is removed from an Atlassian/Operations Team, residual team membership entries are not fully cleaned up. As a result, alerts continue to be routed to users who are no longer members of the team. Team members could also be added to incident chat channels due to this.

      Steps to Reproduce

      (The behaviour might not be replicable on-demand)

      • Create or identify an existing  Atlassian/Operations Team and add User A as a team member.
      • Configure an alerting/routing setup that sends alerts to this team (e.g., escalation policy, routing rule, or notification rule targeting the team).
      • Trigger an alert and confirm that User A receives notifications as expected.
      • Remove User A from the Atlassian/Operations Team (using the standard UI / team management flow).
      • Trigger another alert that targets the same team.
      • Observe the users who receive the alert.

      Expected Results

      • After User A is removed from the Atlassian/Operations Team, User A should no longer receive any alerts routed to that team.

       

      Actual Results

      • User A, who was previously removed from the Atlassian/Operations Team, continues to receive alerts that are routed to the team.

      Workaround

      For each affected user who continues to receive alerts after being removed from a team:

      • Re‑add the user to the affected Atlassian/Operations Team.
      • Manually remove the user from the team again via the standard team management UI.
      • Confirm that the user no longer appears in the team membership and no longer receives alerts when new alerts are routed to that team.
